Chapter 051 Jinjiang First Release
After finishing a day's work, Dean Feng sat back in the car, opened the mobile phone APP, and habitually reviewed today's surveillance content. As she was watching, she noticed Zhou Xinyu's figure briefly pausing at the door of the office, and her small action of taking out her mobile phone. The smile on Dean Feng's face disappeared.
Through surveillance, she couldn't see clearly whether Zhou Xinyu was recording audio or video, but she was sure of one thing, that is, Zhou Xinyu intended to expose the matter. No matter which department she was going to report to, it would be a disaster for Dean Feng.
Dean Feng has more than just this one secret, and she cannot withstand investigation. The only way is to destroy the evidence in her hands before Zhou Xinyu reports it. But even if her mobile phone is destroyed, there is no guarantee that she does not have a backup online.
Dean Feng stepped on the accelerator and sped along the road. A more vicious idea came to his mind: just go for it and destroy Zhou Xinyu.
Anyway, she is just an orphan, has no family, and usually keeps to herself. Even if she disappears, no one will care.
Dean Feng certainly couldn't do this kind of thing herself. After repeated consideration, she called Yu Na and Guo Lihua and ordered them to get rid of Zhou Xinyu.
Dean Feng thought that since they were minors and had always had a bad relationship with Zhou Xinyu, even if they were eventually found out, as long as they didn't say anything, the police would think it was a conflict between a few students and the consequences would not be too serious.
Yu Na and Guo Lihua were of course extremely reluctant. Although they were usually very arrogant and had done many illegal things, they had never killed anyone with their own hands. They knew the seriousness of murder and did not dare to agree to Dean Feng's request.
Dean Feng showed them the surveillance video and told the two girls that they were now grasshoppers on the same rope. Once Zhou Xinyu succeeded in reporting the case, none of them would be able to escape. If Yu Na did not do as she said, Zhou Xinyu would send all three of them to prison.
After watching the video, Yu Na hardened her heart. Zhou Xinyu had repeatedly humiliated her before, and she had been annoyed with Zhou Xinyu for a long time. Now Zhou Xinyu was even going beyond her control and doing such a thing. She should solve this problem. Anyway, she was not an adult yet, and even if she had killed someone, the sentence would not be severe.
Yu Na returned to the dormitory of the orphanage and asked the girls about Zhou Xinyu's preferences. She learned that she had always had a crush on a boy named Nie Tao. After Yu Na and Guo Lihua discussed it, they came up with a brilliant plan to kill someone.
Nie Tao lived in the boys' dormitory of the orphanage. He was very handsome and was the most handsome boy in high school. Yu Na asked someone to find Nie Tao, and together with a few gangsters, she threatened him and forced him to make a phone call for her.
After Zhou Xinyu recorded the audio, she delayed sending it to the media. After all, there were too many media outlets online and she didn't know which one to send it to. Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly received a call from Nie Tao, who asked her to go hiking together.
Zhou Xinyu was very surprised that this usually aloof school hunk actually took the initiative to call her. After all, she was just an adolescent girl, and she couldn't wait to agree without thinking too much and began to prepare for the date.
She had no makeup, but dressed up as best she could, then left the orphanage alone, took the bus to the edge of town, and started walking up the mountain.
When the appointed time came, Zhou Xinyu had already climbed halfway up the mountain, but Nie Tao still hadn't shown up. Zhou Xinyu felt something was wrong and wanted to go back, but Yu Na and Guo Lihua appeared in front of her.
They pressed forward step by step, forcing Zhou Xinyu to the edge of the cliff, then two of them reached out their hands, one holding one of her shoulders, and forcibly pushed Zhou Xinyu off the cliff.
Zhou Xinyu's neck was broken, blood was coming out of her mouth and nose, and she stopped breathing on the spot. Her mobile phone was also smashed to pieces. After confirming that she was no longer a threat, Yu Na and Guo Lihua left the cliff.
That night, Zhou Xinyu did not return to the dormitory. Dean Feng called the police and falsely claimed that she was missing. A few days later, Zhou Xinyu's body was found by tourists who were hiking. After forensic examination, it was confirmed that there were no signs of beating on her body. Since her mobile phone was completely damaged and could not provide any useful clues, no other footprints were found at the scene. The case was eventually determined to be an accidental death.
After the incident was over, Director Feng quickly took down the camera at the door of the office and destroyed the surveillance footage inside. Yu Na and Feng Lihua left the orphanage and became full-time hostesses. With the protection of Director Feng, Yu Na would still return to the orphanage from time to time, select good-looking girls, and introduce them to Dahlia to work as hostesses.
The days of several people were peaceful until this day when Zhou Xinyu, who they thought was dead, reappeared before them.
————
When Yu Na heard the words "Mama-san", she laughed disdainfully: "So what if I'm a Mama-san? Whether you call me a brothel owner or a pimp, I've already earned the money. Since I've done this, I'm not afraid of being scolded. Anyway, the money I've earned during this period of time is more than many people can earn in their entire working lives!"
Guo Lihua chimed in, "That's right, my sister Na is right. You are standing up for those girls in the orphanage who work as hostesses. How do you know they are not enjoying it? I see them welcoming and seeing off guests every day, smiling happily. What does it have to do with you? I have two words for you - you meddle in other people's business, and you will not have a good death!"
Bai Mian leaned against the street light and admired his nails: "I will definitely live a long life, so you two don't need to worry about me. You should worry about yourselves first. You two have a life in your hands."
Yu Na said nonchalantly, "You are standing here fine and you are not dead. How can this be considered a life? It is just an injury. Even if you want to sue us, we were minors at the time. The law will definitely give us a lighter punishment."
Bai Mian reached into his coat pocket and seemed to grab something: "Oh, really? The evidence in my hand doesn't say that."
Yu Na suddenly became nervous: "Evidence? What evidence do you have?"
Guo Lihua whispered in Yu Na's ear: "Sister Na, don't listen to her. She can't have any evidence. We wore shoe covers when we went up the mountain, so there were no footprints. And then it rained heavily, so even if there were footprints, they would have been washed away long ago. And there were only a few of us on the mountain at the time, and there were no other witnesses. What evidence can she have?"
Bai Mian said leisurely, "Don't forget, there is another person - Dean Feng. She is the one who ordered you to do all this. I got this evidence from her office."
Yu Na frowned and thought to herself, every time Dean Feng contacted them, they would meet offline, and before each conversation he would confiscate their mobile phones to prevent them from recording any audio or video. How could Dean Feng, such a cautious person, have evidence of a murder in his hands?
"Impossible, you must be lying to me!" Yu Na retorted, "Why would Dean Feng keep something that is disadvantageous to herself? If she really left evidence, then once this evidence is discovered, she would be instigating murder!"
"Whether it's true or not, you can find out by coming and taking a look yourself." Bai Mian clenched his fist and shook it in his pocket, tempting Yu Na to come closer. "Or are you afraid of me?"
Yu Na was provoked like this and really took the bait. She was used to being the big sister in the orphanage and couldn't stand people saying that she was scared. She walked into the alley regardless and Guo Lihua was also dragged in by her while complaining.
This is an abandoned alley, completely dark and deserted, as if it were cut off from the bustling world outside.
"Don't keep us in suspense. Show us the evidence!"
Yu Na bravely walked up to Bai Mian. Bai Mian took his hands out of his pockets and spread them out in front of her. His hands were empty.
"Fuck, are you kidding me?"
Yu Na was furious and started to curse. Before she could finish her next sentence, Bai Mian snapped his finger at her. She was stunned all of a sudden, as if her whole body was petrified. She stood there motionless without even blinking.
"Na...Sister Na?"
Guo Lihua stretched out five fingers in fear and waved them in front of Yu Na's eyes. Yu Na did not react at all. Seeing this, Guo Lihua ran away. Bai Mian said coldly behind her:
"Do you think you can run away?"
Guo Lihua stopped walking. She was afraid that if she ran away, she would be punished more severely. So she turned around, smiled awkwardly, and walked back to Bai Mian, saying flatteringly:
"It's amazing, what is this, witchcraft? I haven't seen you for a while, and you went to learn this. Xinyu, if you are angry, just vent it on her, don't involve me, you know, she did it, she is the boss, I just follow her orders, I, I was forced to do it, if I don't help her, she will find someone to beat me up!"
"Really?" Bai Mian walked closer and looked into her eyes. "Are you really as innocent as you say?"
As he spoke, Bai Mian touched Guo Lihua's wrist and felt her pulse, which frightened her so much that she shivered.
Bai Mian raised the corners of his lips: "It seems like someone is lying."
"You were the one who suggested that Yu Na get bribes by recruiting people. It was also your idea to lock me in the utility room that night. Even the plan to kill me was yours. You just don't look as ruthless as Yu Na on the surface. In fact, all the sinister ideas were provided by you."
Guo Lihua saw Bai Mian approaching step by step and thought she was going to attack her. She was so scared that she burst into tears: "Yes, you are right, I have done many evil things, I know I am wrong, Zhou Xinyu, no, Sister Zhou, please give me another chance to be a human being, I don't want to die yet, please let me live, I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future!"
"Who said I want you to die?" Bai Mian asked in surprise.
Guo Lihua was as if she had been pardoned: "You are not going to attack me? Then...then I will leave. Thank you, Sister Zhou!"
"It's too early to thank you," Bai Mian stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of her. "I'm not going to let you die, but I will make your life worse than death."
Yu Na and Guo Lihua stood side by side in the alley, like two puppets. Bai Mian stood between them and whispered to them:
"From today on, you can live a normal life when you are awake, but once you fall asleep, you will fall into the eighteenth level of hell and receive torture in hell. This dream will repeat over and over again until you turn yourself in to the police and tell them everything you have done."
After saying that, Bai Mian snapped his fingers and left the alley. Yu Na and Guo Lihua woke up and looked at each other in confusion.
"I don't seem to remember what happened just now."
"I don't remember either. Forget about it for now. Let's check if we are injured."
"I'm not injured. Where is Zhou Xinyu? Didn't she want to show me something just now?"
"I guess she sprayed you with a sedative or something. I thought she knew witchcraft. What the hell, after all this time, this is all she can do!"
"I vaguely remember that she seemed to ask us to turn ourselves in..."
"How can we possibly turn ourselves in? You're crazy!"
————
Bai Mian left the street and came to the hospital.
She really has no evidence, and even if she does, it is not sufficient, so she wants these evil people to surrender themselves.
Bai Mian walked into the hospital. It was a small hospital. There were no doctors or patients in the lobby. There was only one nurse on duty at the front desk. The nurse was a little surprised to see Bai Mian coming in:
"Are you looking for a doctor? We don't accept nighttime emergencies. We also don't accept patients visiting us. Visiting hours have passed. Please come back tomorrow during the day."
Bai Mian stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of the nurse, who slowly fell asleep on the table. Bai Mian looked at the admission registration form on the nurse's table and found Dean Feng's ward on it.
It was already midnight, and the hospital corridor was filled with a bitter atmosphere. Bai Mian walked slowly in the corridor, gradually approaching Dean Feng's ward. Her footsteps sounded like nails hitting Dean Feng's nerves.
Dean Feng lay in the single room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Ever since she saw Bai Mian during the day, she had been feeling uneasy. Although many people had explained to her that this fortune-teller just happened to look like Zhou Xinyu, she still felt uneasy.
She searched for Bai Mian's account and watched his past live broadcasts. What surprised her was that Bai Mian started his live broadcast two days after Zhou Xinyu's death!
Is this really just a coincidence, or...
Dean Feng thought about it and finally felt that it was a wronged ghost seeking revenge. She wanted to press the bell and ask the nurse to accompany her, but before she could press the bell, the door of the ward was pushed open.
"Nurse, you came just in time. I was just about to call you."
Dean Feng turned over as she spoke, and when she saw that the person who pushed the door open was Bai Mian, she let out a sharp scream and fell off the bed.
"President Feng, I came to see you."
Bai Mian stood at the door, her face divided by the dim light, and at this moment she looked like a fierce ghost.
"Ah——" Dean Feng screamed, pointed at her and asked, "Are you Master Bai, or, or Zhou Xinyu?"
"Who do you say I am?"
Bai Mian walked slowly to Dean Feng, squatted down and carefully admired her ferocious appearance, just like a hunter admiring his dying prey.
Dean Feng's legs were numb from the fall, and she couldn't stand up for a while. She supported herself on the ground with both hands, stepped back, and said in fear:
"You, what do you want to do? This is a hospital, how dare you do anything to me?"
"You will soon find out what I am going to do to you."
Bai Mian gave a sinister smile and took out a lighter from his pocket.
Dean Feng yelled in panic, trying to call the doctors and nurses, but before she could finish her second sentence, Bai Mian hypnotized her with a snap of her fingers:
"Look into my eyes. From now on, your body will not be able to move, but your mind will remain clear. You can't do anything but look at me."
Dean Feng lay stiffly on the ground, her eyes wide open, filled with fear.
Bai Mian took Dean Feng's pulse, then pressed the lighter, held the flame in front of her face, and gestured from top to bottom:
"Should I start from my eyebrows... or my chin? It would be a shame to burn such a well-maintained face. I know that this is the face that Director Feng spends five figures every month to take care of at the beauty salon."
Bai Mian smiled strangely and held the flame in front of Dean Feng's eyes: "Oh, right, I'll start with these eyes. You can't see the children's situation with these eyes anyway, so what's the point of having them?"
Dean Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, her eyes turned red, and her eyes were filled with tears of fear.
Just when Bai Mian was about to use the lighter to burn Dean Feng's eyes, she let go of the lighter in her mobile phone, the flame of the lighter went out, and the ward fell into darkness again.
Bai Mian laughed at himself and said, "What a pity! No matter how bad you guys are, I still can't do the same thing as you. You should be punished, but only the law can punish you."
She stood up and kicked Dean Feng on the chin: "Dean Feng, at the moment when you were about to go blind, did you feel despair? This is how I felt over the past years, and it is also how every child in the orphanage feels."
"It is precisely because you are lax in management and only think about your own profits that you pretend to be blind to things that are not good for you. That is why the orphanage is in such chaos and bullying incidents happen frequently. Yu Na colluded with forces outside the school and introduced girls from the orphanage to serve as drinking companions. A complete industrial chain has even been formed. Not only did you not stop it, you also took the opportunity to enrich yourself. With your behavior, even if I really burn your eyes today, you deserve it!"
Bai Mian lowered his head, looked into Dean Feng's eyes, and said word by word: "But I won't do that. I want you to live a long and healthy life for the rest of your life, free from suffering."
"From today on, once you fall asleep, you will fall into hell in your dreams and be fried in oil and boiled in fire. This dream will repeat itself over and over again until you surrender to the police and confess everything you have done."
After saying this, Bai Mian snapped her fingers to end the hypnosis, turned around and walked out of the ward. She did not look back at Dean Feng's expression. This woman made her feel disgusted even if she looked at her for one more second.
After taking Dean Feng's pulse, Bai Mian found out that Dean Feng had spent the night in the office on the night Zhou Xinyu was locked up in the utility room by Yu Na. She heard Zhou Xinyu's cries for help, but since she had accepted a red envelope from Yu Na, she naturally condoned her behavior. She was indifferent and slept in the office all night.
After finishing all this, Bai Mian hurried back to Cixin Hall before dawn. She sat at the table and said solemnly to the face in the mirror:
"Don't worry. Since I'm occupying your body, I won't let you die in vain. I've already avenged you. By daylight, everything will have a conclusion."
